So when does Amazon prime launching and is it going to be part of our packages
To be honest they could have every app on the V6 and i still wouldn't use it, Netflix and Youtube , Amazon Prime, all are present on my LG smart TV, with dedicated launch buttons for the former and the latter.
Unless like Sky the integration with Netflix they combine the bill to make it financially attractive too, then these apps are to little to late.
If they can integrate the Prime content into the Tivo’s search and bookmarking (like they have with Netflix) that will be cool
It will leave a question mark over the VM store. The unique (should that be only) selling point was the ability to stream your purchases through the V6 box.
Many people have Amazon Prime already and it has far more content and is available through a heck of a lot more devices than VMs offering. Also with Prime you aren't left wondering what to do with a next to useless DVD.
Hats off to Virgin if it does arrive, they certainly present heavy content users with options and alternatives.
